Session Abstract

If you have been working with OSD for the last 10 years, you may already be familiar with the 'recovery partition'. Its importance has increased sharply since 2023 and it remains important at Ignite 2025 with the 'Windows Resiliency Initiative'. Cloud Rebuild, Point-in-Time Restore, Quick Machine Recovery and more all build on the same platform: Your WinRE partition. Join this session to learn more about this OS within an OS that is already a critical part of the system and will continue to be so in the future.
